[Opinions] Re: Theodore?
in reply to a message by Evie Grace
I love Theodore!
If I were to meet a Theodore I wouldn't dream of calling him Teddy or Theo, unless he said to do so. I find it really rude and presumptuous when people shorten the name of someone they've just met, esp without express permision. Simply reminding people the name is Theodore not Theo or Teddy should suffice.
I do like Teddy for a little boy, and Theo as an occasional nn.
